Dementia Demystified by Tim England.

What is a Personal Health Plan and why you need it.

Dementia Champion (M.Dem) Season 3 Episode 8

Is there a need for a Personal Health Plan for someone with dementia? The answer is.. Yes…  absolutely….A person with dementia needs a Personal Health Plan. It’s does not matter where a person is with their dementia, their age and/or what stage they are at with dementia. 

A Personal Health Plan is a document designed and structured in such a way to help you outline and organise your health and wellness goals, strategies, and actions. It’s a very common tool in healthcare.

About me

My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified. I’m also a Dementia Champion and a leading voice on dementia in Australia and I have been active in this area for over 15 years. 

As a freelance dementia consultant and educator who De-mystifies and De-stigmatises dementia I advocate for people living with dementia and their families to live well. With a Masters of Dementia, I’m a Dementia Specialist, Family Advocate, Educator, Columnist, Public Speaker, and an Advanced Care Planner. My family has also been touched by dementia.

I hosted hundreds of free public dementia education events to raise the awareness of dementia. I’ve been featured in the Australian Journal of Dementia Care and was awarded the ‘Paul Harris Medal’ from Rotary International for Community Service.

My new YouTube channel called Ask a Dementia Champion has the goal of raising the level of dementia awareness and knowledge in the community and to de-stigmatise dementia more broadly. 

My style is relaxed and use simple non-complicated terms and language to effectively inform and advise so that correct choices are made, and I’m committed to finding, and sharing, bold and innovative new ideas in dementia care.

So, if you a looking for someone who can share information about dementias pathology, the impact of dementia on society, and what can be done to help, then you’ve come to the right place.
